This did break KiCad-Winbuilder, but I released an update with libbz2
building enabled. So it's all good.

>From the Boost Documentation:

On Windows, the zlib and bzip2 filters are disabled by default; to enable
support for these filters, you will need to set variables indicating the
location of the source files, if building from the source, or the location
of the headers and binaries, if using pre-built binaries.

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/iostreams/doc/installation.html

So it seemed reasonable to include it now in case we need it in the future
for some reason.

Best Regards, Brian.
